Genesis 10:6–20

^6aThe sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

⁷The sons of Cush were ^aSeba and Havilah and Sabtah and ^bRaamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and ^cDedan.

⁸Now Cush ¹became the father of Nimrod; he ²became a mighty one on the earth.

⁹He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.”

¹⁰The beginning of his kingdom was ^1aBabel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of ^bShinar.

¹¹From that land he went forth ^ainto Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,

¹²and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.

¹³Mizraim ¹became the father of ^aLudim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim

¹⁴and ^aPathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.

¹⁵Canaan ¹became the father of ^aSidon, his firstborn, and ^bHeth

¹⁶and ^athe Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite

¹⁷and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite

¹⁸and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.

^19aThe territory of the Canaanite ¹extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward ^bSodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

²⁰These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.
